“Great BJJ club with a real family vibe. The coach is straightforward, honest, and clear. No ego, no nonsense — just good teaching and good energy.”

“I can’t say enough positive things about my Jiu Jitsu experience at Thompson Jiu Jitsu Academy. I started BJJ here about a year ago and it has been an incredibly challenging but very rewarding journey so far. The camaraderie between the students, the intensity of the workouts, and Dave’s depth of knowledge as an instructor have kept me coming back. I continue to be impressed by the collaborative and supportive learning environment, and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering a martial arts gym in the Leaside / Midtown / Davisville Village area. Don’t be intimated, come train with us! Great work Dave, you got me
hooked.”

“Great place to train. Dave is incredibly welcoming and generous with his knowledge. Although this isn’t my home gym, I live a bit far from the location, so it is difficult for me to go there regularly. I try to go when I can and always feel welcome!”

“At first I was sceptical about juijitsu however after a friend invited me to a first free class I fell in love with the sport. Since then in a short period of three months I’ve won 2 gold medals in 2 different tournaments, met the amazing people that go there and over all had a great time. The head coach David Thompson is very experienced and teaches people EXTREMELY well. The people that go there are very nice and will always assist in solving any questions and problems you will face.”
